Wagner said she will not feel safe, until this campus groper is caught.

“It will definitely make me make sure I am paying more aware of my surroundings and make sure I do not have my earbuds in and not being able to pay attention to what is going on,” said Wagner. “It definitely makes me second-guess things a little bit.”

Investigators do not know if the person on surveillance video is a student at Purdue. They are not saying he is the one who groped the women on campus. Campus police only want to find out what he knows.
